#1 As usual, general rhetoric. "Stand Up" in what way? After castrating the war on terror you are a hypocrit. Don't be surprised when this islamist stand right back up and get right back in your face more militant than ever.

#2 Notice that Tarek Fatah does not claim any Quranic argument supports his position. It may be out of ignorance of the theology (probably) or out of embarrassment at the theology (Irshad Manji is an exception to this rule, she quotes the Quran a lot and probably thinks she knows what she is talking about).

This is the problem self identifying moslem moderates face. In essense, the terrorists quote the Quran, the moderates run away from it.

#3 Or they quote the 5% of the Koran that is gentle and accepting, ignoring the other 95% as hard as they can. I heard exactly that on NPR this morning, as follow-on to their report on the 45 jihadi doctors plotting mayhem in the U.S.

#4 The reason why no one will stand up (besides lack of a spine) is the fact that if they do, the Islamists will stand right up too and try to behead them. Thus, the apologists rule the land.

The war is on people. You will have to fight, or surrender.

#6 Those who incite young Muslim men in Britain and Canada into believing that western society is satanic and that the West is waging a war against Islam have a moral obligation to take responsibility when these same men become suicide bombers and terrorists.

They not only are happy to take moral responsibility, they gloat at the successes.

Illegal war, my foot. Show me the law.

There's no need to read them as they are merely excerpts from the body of text. The green color indicates which moderator perceives these passages as being of significance.

As to the article, it would have been nice if the author had provided more detail about how people should "stand up to the Islamists". She says, "Enough is enough," and, "shape up or ship out" but neglects to mention if this involves beating the crap out of protestors who openly advocate shari'a law or (gasp!) shipping out offenders via deportation. Much more explicit language is going to be needed to overcome the years of Politically Correct Newspeak that have neutered public awareness of Islam's threat.

#9 It is also the fault of politicians such as Tony Blair, who, after foolishly entrenching Islamists at every level in British society, then lied about weapons of mass destruction and helped U.S. President George W. Bush launch his illegal invasion of Iraq

Some things are well-stated whereas others are pure BS. The statement about lying about WMDs is the mantra of the left. Saddam has WMDs which he used against the Iranians and the Kurds. He tried to develop a nuclear capability in the early 1980s before the Israelis took out the facilities in a pre-emptive strike. He had been working on biological weapons and chemical weapons. Another mantra is that Bush invaded Iraq illegally. Bullshit. Iraq ignored UN sanctions for years. Bush went to the UN and got a UN resolution to invade Iraq.

#10 Blair set up state-funded Islamic schools

Exactly what that fool Bloomberg is allowing Dabah al Montaser to do in New York

It is also the fault of politicians such as Tony Blair, who, after foolishly entrenching Islamists at every level in British society, then lied about weapons of mass destruction and helped U.S. President George W. Bush launch his illegal invasion of Iraq.

Repeating this common Big Lie of the Left invalidates the rest of the article in my view. Not only is the charge false but it is just another example of a blame-the-victim mentality.

Besides the Islamists themselves the only other group which deserves blame are the multi-cultis who allowed this movement to infiltrate our societies.
